32 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe story aspect of the game is generally well-received, with many players enjoying the engaging side stories and character development, particularly in the context of Yuuji's protective role. While some find the narratives entertaining and humorous, others note that the stories are brief, with a runtime of around two hours, and may not be essential to the main plot. Overall, the side stories are appreciated for their charm and connection to the main series, though opinions on their depth and value vary.
“The story takes place after Yuuji got back from America and right before Asako collapses.”
“Unlike Afterglow, which was just something that could have happened but was never actually talked about in Labyrinth itself, Melody takes a brief ~5 minute plotline that existed in Labyrinth and expands upon it into an hour-long short story about Yuuji doing some bodyguard work.”
“The whole story pretty much just revolves around the daily life of the girl that Yuuji 'babysits' and how their relationship improves day by day as they started to understand each other.”
“The only cons of the story is that Marion is 9 years old; she's far from legal.”
“Boring character, boring story.”
“It is another side story totally unrelated with the main storyline.”
